Burning fire

In the next few days, Zhou Qizun never saw Zhang Jueming again.

He asked Liu Jian, and Liu Jian said that little dumb Zhang didn't ask to see him.

Zhou Qizun felt a little empty in his heart for no reason.He asked again unhappily: "He really didn't want to see me?"

"No." Liu Jianmu said happily, "Do you miss him? Then I will report to the captain and apply to bring him to see you."

"Forget it." Zhou Qizun frowned, "It's too troublesome."

"Really no need? Someone will come to pick up the children the day after tomorrow. It will be difficult for you to see them again." Liu Jian said, "Also, the instructions have come down. Our team will carry out the mission in a week and leave for Sichuan."

"Sichuan?" Zhou Qizun was stunned for a moment, "What about me?"

Liu Jian: "You are still in Yunnan, recuperating where you were injured. The captain asked you to recover before returning to the team."

"...All right." Zhou Qizun nodded, "I will follow the arrangement."

"What about that child? Shall I bring you?" Liu Jian asked again.

Zhou Qizun thought for a while: "You can ask him again. If he wants to see me, you can report to the captain and bring him here. It's a pity that I'm still blindfolded, so I can't see what he looks like."

"Speaking of appearance, that kid is really good-looking, a typical handsome boy." Liu Jian pondered for a while, "It's okay, I'll take a photo of him and send it to you, and you can see it when your eyes recover."

"Okay." Zhou Qizun smiled.

Liu Jian pressed Zhou Qizun's shoulder: "Don't worry. The doctor said that he is recovering well, don't worry."

"Yeah." Zhou Qizun still smiled lightly and didn't say anything more.

That afternoon Liu Jian told Zhou Qizun that the dumb Zhang still didn't show that he wanted to see him.

Zhou Qizun was puzzled, it was rare to be a little bit shocked - this kid was still clinging to him two days ago and wouldn't let go, now before he left, he didn't even come to see him?

Then Zhou Qizun figured it out, he must be timid.The child sneaked out twice last time and was caught, and his mind was very sensitive. He probably knew that he was causing trouble, so he didn't dare to come again.

Although Zhou Qizun was not smooth, he still did not force himself.He and Liu Jian urged to take good photos, and thought that if they had the opportunity in the future, they must look for this child and see him again.

It was the first time Zhou Qizun met such a little boy.It’s not all about him giving up on himself, it’s about him being in pain, being suffocated by shadows, choking his voice, but there are other things—such as delicateness, kindness, and obedience.

No matter how Cherry got here or how people got out, he is essentially a smart kid who makes people hurt.

If he has no relatives and can't find a good home...Zhou Qizun was thinking for a while—whether Zhou Yunheng and Jiang Qiuqin would like to have more sons and add a younger brother to Zhou Yi.

When the eyes are healed, I still apply to go home and talk to my family.

Thinking of this, Zhou Qizun finally felt at ease, and An Sheng went to bed.

But he didn't know.

In the past two days, every midnight, his window would be pried open, and then a little ghost would sneak in, and the little ghost would secretly cat by his bed, calling his name softly.

Zhang Jueming has been practicing saying the three words "Zhou Qizun".The day is too bright, the sun is too big, he dare not practice.He is even more afraid to practice in front of others.

Only in the dead of night, when no one cares about it, and the surroundings have turned into darkness, can he open his mouth and yell softly a few times.

Especially when he came to Zhou Qizun's side, got close to Zhou Qizun's breath, and listened to Zhou Qizun's sleeping breathing, Zhang Jueming could muster up his courage and get more strength in his throat.

"Zhou Qizun...Zhou Qizun..." Zhang Jueming lay beside Zhou Qizun's pillow, looking at Zhou Qizun's profile.

He was underage, his mind was not mature, and he didn't know how bad what he did, but when he thought about it, he knew it was not a good thing.

If he were Zhou Qizun, every night in the middle of the night there would be a monster that was neither human nor ghost lying in front of him, calling his name hesitantly while he was asleep...

More than creepy.This is abnormal behavior, sick behavior, disgusting and terrible.

——In the final analysis, he does not belong to the world, does not belong under the sun and the moon, above the thick soil, if he stays here, by Zhou Qizun's side, he will not be able to do any good deeds.

He hurt Zhou Qizun's eyes first, and then he was so sneaky...

Zhang Jueming thought too much, closed his mouth, shamelessly called Zhou Qizun's name again, saw a drop of water falling from Zhou Qizun's arm, Zhang Jueming touched his face, and realized that he was crying again.

He took a few steps back, scribbled to the window, and jumped out of the window in a panic.

It is said to be jumping, but it should be floating away, ghosts, come silently, go without a shadow.

Step on the ground, surrounded by dark night.Zhang Jueming raised his head, and the tears at the corners of his eyes dried up into a shallow trace, causing the skin at the corners of his eyes to slightly tighten.

He looked at the moon, the moon was round at night, not too round, but a moist oval, white and bright.

A flash of fire suddenly tore the moon apart, and the color of the fire swished across, as if it had wiped a bloody mouth on the moon.

Zhang Jueming's eyes flickered, and he stretched out his hand to catch the fire.

Zhang Jueming recognized that this was the karmic fire of hell—the ghost was calling him.

The fire of karma was extinguished the moment it fell into his palm.Zhang Jueming raised his eyes and looked around. His thin figure disappeared into the dark night and walked into a remote jungle.

At the end of the jungle, Zhang Jueming found Chibao.

The flames on Chi Leopard's body were not as bright as before, and it lay obediently on the ground with a long and vertical wound on its back.

When Zhang Jueming saw the injury, he rushed over immediately, hugged Chibao's head, and Chibao obediently leaned against him, weeping listlessly.

"Why...Chi...injured..." Zhang Jueming was anxious.

He could only say the three words "Zhou Qizun" consecutively, and it was still sad to say a complete sentence coherently.

"You are a mountain ghost, follow me back to Netherworld." King Yan Luo appeared behind Zhang Jueming and Chi Bao in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Jueming turned his head to look at King Yan Luo. Although he didn't have any injuries like Chibao, his face was pale, and the aura around him was not as good as before.

Zhang Jueming knew that Nether was already in danger when Qiao Jun pushed him out, otherwise he would not have been sent to the border of Yunnan. It was Qiao Jun who was in desperation and tried her best to send him out indiscriminately.

"Mom.....Mom..." Zhang Jueming called out each word in a strange manner.

King Yan Luo couldn't help staring in surprise: "You can talk now?"

King Yan Luo took a step forward, reaching out his hand to pull Zhang Jueming up, but he paused for a moment, hesitated, and finally withdrew his hand.

From the spacious jacket pocket, King Yama took out a kindling seed in his palm.

Zhang Jueming recognized Qiao Jun's breath from the kindling, he hurried forward and hugged the kindling in his arms.

"This is left to you by your mother." King Yan Luo turned his back after speaking, he waved his arm, and a big hole was burned in the darkness in front of him by the raging fire.

The fire in the cave is entangled and burning fiercely - that is the road leading to the underworld, and after the flames is the dark chiyuan hell.

In Zhang Jueming's arms, the fire seemed to be sensed, and it burned more and more intensely. Suddenly, a pitch-black iron chain was quenched from the bright fire, and stretched across the air.

"Take the punishment and go back." King Yama finally said.

Zhang Jueming paused, then looked up at the moon again.

The bright and white moon has grown up, and the scars of the fire that were scratched by the karmic fire are gone.It is still so round and round, it seems that it has never been broken.

"I can't stay by your side." Zhang Jueming thought of Zhou Qizun's face.

He smoothed Chibao's hair, and Chibao looked up at him and bent him up.

The red leopard's four hooves regenerated flames, and it let out a mournful howl towards the night sky, carrying Zhang Jueming leaping high, opening its mouth to hold the punishment in mid-air, and plunged into the flame vortex in front of it...
